One, do you know about Juno? http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno New Source location: https://github.com/he-the-great/Juno-Windows-Class-Library Hadn't heard of it, no. Checking it now. Two, how does your work compare? Are these improvements that could go into Juno? My code is a template that generates wrappers for COM interfaces. Sure, that template can be part of any related library, but the prerequisites probably make it too niche to be universally useful. For one, it needs a D-style interface definition for the COM interfaces. Three, you may be interested to know about tlbimpd: http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno/wiki/TypeLibraryImporter I revived the project for D2, but Richard Webb has actually done the work to make it usable. Wondering if effort on this could be consolidated and as brought up in the reddit comments maybe work could go towards WinRT support? Hmm, this would work beautifully! tlbimpd could be extended to generate the same kind of wrappers for each COM object/interface. About WinRT... That's actually how my code started out. There are still some WinR Treferences in the slides that I should have removed. Anyway, now that WinRT is 'out in the open' that's no longer an issue. So, yes, the same trick works for all of WinRT. Great presentation material though. Thank you for having done so. Thanks! L.

Looked more in depth at your code I see that you demonstrated the D IDL which I think is what tlbimpd is doing, still need to piece all these components together myself. Looking at the Wikipage on WinRT, it seems that tlb is being dropped and replaced with a meta data format similar to .Net's. This would definitely be a nice area to have expanded. There is also a comparison you do and I'm curious how you see this one working. VARIANT - std.variant. In Juno the Variant struct is defined and it seems their are functions which take that type. Isn't the struct definition still going to be required for interoperability. It could be made transparent to the user though.
